I haven't done that show, but I am looking for more shows to do in the Carolinas.  I'm basically a wildlife photographer and have done well in shows around Currituck, N.C.   I'd like to find more shows, especially mid-sized shows with booth space around $200 or less.

Try Atalaya,  it is reasonable,  it's run by the State Park system.  They do a good job of keeping the quality high and keeping out the buy/sell.

Jennifer,

I've been accepted and I'm doing that show. Hope to see you there; or I'll let you know how it goes.

How did Charlotte go?  After posting on this show I realized I had a conflict with Springmaid workshops, but I really would be interested in knowing how this show does for next year.

Jennifer,

 

Talked to the promoter last week. This is a first-time show, but I am going to do it and will let you know how it goes.

So, how was the show?

It was not pretty....  Everything seemed to be in place except for the crowds.  I broke even.  Many did not.  Many didn't sell a thing.  Word was that the location (though nice) was not ideal, and that the show should be moved to downtown Charleston (which was in eyesite across the river/bridge.)  Lots of people were out and about in Charleston, they just didn't come to the show...

The promoter has decided to keep the location the same for 2012.  I won't be applying to it.
